I thought randy made one? GP-Wiz or something?

Nope - GP-Wiz is a gamepad encoder - no analog support.
GP-Wiz49 in a 49-way joystick and buttons encoder - no straight analog support

About the A-PAC. This is now back in stock. It was out of stock owing to a shortage of the blank microcontroller chips. These are still in short supply so I have decided to put back in stock some pre-release versions. There is only one difference in this version, which is the description string which shows in Control Panel states "G-PAC". They are identical in all other respects.

[cough] Umm, how about Happs, CH Products, Epic, or deva?  All same or more than the plasma or plasma lite.   ;)  (I never heard of the deva one, but all came up on the first page googled.)

I have the Happs encoder board (not the analog model though), and it works flawlessly.  However, I bought it without doing my homework on pricing and availability of other products.  These things are almost $200. 

Edit:  Well, when I bought it they were almost $200.  Now, they're about $150...
